FBNEO standalone controls

RetroBat offers per-game fonctionnality for FBNEO standalone emulator.

The file containing the mapping information is available in the \system\resources\inputmapping folder of your RetroBat installation, it is named fbneo.yml

An explanation of how to perform the mapping is available as introduction comment within the file.

Here is an example of mapping provided for Street Fighter III games:

The yml section for a game is structured with the following information:

Value	Description
game name	Must be the name (or beginning of the name) of the game zip file (e.g. sfiii will cover all roms starting with sfiii unless a specific mapping section has been created for the exact game file name)
Game control label	Each game has different control name labels. These can be found in the game config .ini file created in the \emulators\fbneo\config\games folder of your RetroBat installation. Here is an example for sfiii3.ini: The control names to specify within RetroBat .yml file is the input label without the player ID : for example Weak Punch
Gamepad button	The gamepad button value needs to be the button for which to assign the control on your gamepad. The following values are available: These button names refer to the gamecontrolledb.txt official names, as reported in the file located in the file located in the \system\tools folder of your RetroBat installation.
